Kitchen extract cleaning across N22: what to expect
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How we quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extract cleaning around N22
Kitchens across N22 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across England, including N22, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Noel Park: If you cook for passing trade around Alexandra Palace station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Noel Park is Greentrees Hospital, about 1 mile north.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in N22 as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in N22, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Questions from N22
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you cover N22?
Yes. We cover N22 and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
